If I had a dollar for everyone time someone has email me that question, I would be a very rich woman right now :)
You may have noticed that I have been a little lacking in the blog updating department. I tired using the excuse that I have been busy updating Team Canada's blog but one of my "friends" already crushed that excuse down (I won't tell you her response...lol)
You are going to have to wait for a Mr Mav update just a little bit longer because today is going to be all about Mav's big brother Cinder (aka Spotty)
Spotty dog turns 7 tomorrow! Wow - that's so hard to believe. Seems like just yesterday I was bringing home the little guy - and look how far he has come.
He has had quite the agility career - only the 7th Dal to ever earn an ATChC, the 5th Dal to ever earn an Bronze, the 3rd Dal to ever earn a Silver and he is close to being only the second Dal to ever earn a Gold (the highest achievement for a Dal). He has placed twice at the BC/Yukon Regionals and has made the podium at Nationals. He has been in 2 movies (Cats & Dogs 2 and Marmaduke) and he opened the door which got me on on 4 World Teams (even managing 2 of those teams)
Most importantly, he has been my best friend through a heck of a lot and for that I will be forever grateful.
He loves his job as big brother to Mr Mav - I could watch the two of them playing for hours!
I now have another one to add to Spotty's impressive resume!
A couple of months ago, Cinder was used in the filming of a new Disney pilot for ABC. Being a Disney fan - that was pretty cool for me.
Well - I recently found out that the show has been picked up for the fall season and they are continuing the film the program in Vancouver. In this show, one of the characters owns a Dalmatian - and that Dal is going to be played by Cinder!
It is called "Once Upon a Time" and will be seen on ABC Sunday nights at 8pm.
You can learn more about the show and check out the preview at

So - Happy Birthday my Spotty boy!
Cinder's first firetruck photo. I love his buda belly :)
Cinder after his first podium win. I had a perma-grin for weeks!
And not to worry - I promise there will be more Mav updates with photos to come :)
